Sponsoring UVC

According to Brian Corrigan & Clarke Foley of MadGlory, "UVC provided us powerful exposure for the recent Level Up Conference here in Saratoga.  Their vast, high level network is engaged and responsive.  Working along side Jonathan was a great experience.  We would confidently suggest sponsoring UVC's mission as we felt the effects within our first few months of our partnership...and we are just getting started!" Contact us to see how becoming a UVC sponsor can help increase visibility for your organization.
